A61907 Certain papers given forth from the spirit of truth which witnesses against the wisdom of the world and unrighteousness of men, both priests and people, and against their false wayes and false worship and which witnesses of the light of Jesus Christ in the conscience wherein true wisdom is, that people may see with the true light into the things that be invisible and be converted and healed of God in Christ Thomas Stubbs.

not know the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and so have not life therefore they do err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God All who reject the councel of the Lord in denying the light within Priests and people have not life and are out of the Scriptures they boast of the Letter of other mens lines made ready their hands and they are to be kept out of the Scriptures for they are thieves and climb up coming not by the door because they reject the light within which is of Jesus Christ who is the door and the life of the Scriptures but do speak of the Letter which is death and know not the power of life They build an house upon the sand with untempered morter and it shall fall and be dashed in pieces by the light within the chief corner stone which they stumble at and they do greatly err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God And so the blind leads the blinde and both shall fall in the ditch for they have eyes and see not because they deny the light within their ears are dull of hearing and they will not hear but wrest the Scriptures to their own destruction so to the Priests and people of the world the Scriptures are Parables as it was so it is and they erre not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God because they deny the light within wherewith Jesus Christ hath enlightened rejecting the Lords counsel and know not the mysteries of the kingdom of God and therefore are shut out of the Kingdom because they deny the light within wherewith Jesus Christ hath enlightened every one which opens the Scriptures to his disciples that follow him and seals the Testimony among his disciples but without are sorcerers unbelievers whoremongers and who works abomination and trust in lies who are to be kept out of the Scriptures for in rejecting the light within they speak not according to the Law and testimony and have not the life of the Scriptures And therefore they run to wizards that peep and mutter and to the wise men of the world whose wisdom is foolishness with God and seek the living among the dead and death speakes of the dead letter which is death wresting the Scriptures to their own destruction denying the light within which would lead to life therefore do erre not knowing the Scriptures which they are to be kept out of for they are enemies to Jesus Christ doing now as they ever did who persecute those that live in the life of the Scriptures as their forefathers did those that gave forth the Scriptures and their Kingdom is of this world as their forefathers were being out of the Kingdom of God by rejecting the light within which leads to the Kingdome and they hate and persecute those that are called out of the world whose Kingdom is not of the world but within which the Princes and wise men of the world knowes not nor never did but were enemies to it Therefore howl and weep ye wise men of the world who are rich in your wisdome yee shall be consumed by the light within which is contrary to it for the preaching of the Crosse is foolishnesse to the wise of the World now as ever it was therefore the Lord will confound the wisdome of the wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent Where is the wise Where is the Scrib Where is the disputer of this World God hath chosen the foolish things of this World to confound the wise Those that do follow the light of Christ within which the wise of this World accounts foolishnesse and the preaching of the Crosse which now as ever is to the unbelieving Jew a stumbling-block and to the Gentiles the wise of the World foolishnesse but to all that are saved it is the power of God to World Salvation Jesus Christ made to us wisdome and righteousnesse which the World knows not of but wisdome is justifyed of her Children and they who hate it the light within they are without in the world and dare not come to the light because it doth reprove them and it is a stumbling stone and rock of offence to them being disobedient to it and while they are so whatsoever they do professe is dust their profession is without ground the foundation is false they have not life but are in death wresting the Scriptures to their own destruction stumbling at the Rock Jesus Christ the light within which is the life of the scriptures and who reject it they build upon the sand and their house shall fall and be made desolate Therefore all people see upon what foundation you build and what is the ground and hope of your calling They who reject the light within are the enemies of Jesus Christ and Stone and persecute and imprison the messengers of the Lord who live in the life of the Scriptures as their forefathers did those that gave forth the Scriptures and the righteous blood will be required at your hands who live in the same nature your house shall be left unto you desolate the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it and did not the word of the Lord take hold of your forefathers and they returned and said like as the Lord of Hosts hath spoken so hath he done unto us Zeck 1.5 c. and the word of the Lord endures for ever it is the same yesterday to day and for ever Now ye have time prise it this is the day of your visitation In loving the light within and obeying it it will lead you to the life eternal In looking out and disobeying the light within you lye in death feeding upon the dea●● letter which is dea●● and do err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God and are in Babylon in your wisdome where is confusion dashing one place of scripture against another in your imagined waies of it not living in the life of the scripnures and have the light within to be your condemnation and it will dash you to pieces while ye run out from it ye are in darkness without God in the world all return within and wait upon the Lord in the light that your souls may be raised out of death Hast hast to meet the Lord hearken to the voice of Jesus Christ in you and obey it least ye perish whosoever stumbles at it shall be broken and upon whomsoever it shall sall it will grinde him to powder 11. mon. 30. day 1653. Moved and written from the spirit of the Lord by Thomas Stubbes To the Priests and people of the World that worship they know not what being ignorant of the true and living God who is worshiped in spirit and in truth and a call out of false worships to worship the living God in spirit and in truth ALL who uphold an outward Temple and a steeple house calling it the Church of God they worship the work of their own hands and live in darknesse without God in
